La Grange, Ga, Jan. 17, 18G7.
No. 222 Fifth Avenue. The occasion was that
of the opening of the elegant new club room.
Shortly after 8 o’clock, M. Du Chaillu entered
the spacious parlors, and was warmly wel
comed.
After a gracefnl allusion to the achievements
of M. Du Chaillu, Mr. Dunbar introduced the
renowned guest to the audience, who renewed
their demonstrations of cordial welcome. M.
Du Chaiilu spoke as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I came to-day from Putnam county, in the
State of New York, little thinking of the re
ception I should obtain here to-night. I
agreed with Mr. Dunbar for this meeting with
the Traveler's Club to “talk,” but I bad no

Thev are very superstitious. If a man, woman

THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER.
When I tried to oppose this idea they said,
“ Are you Dot jealous in your country?” Well,
I did not like to admit that we are, so 1 evaded
the question. They say that if a man is jeal

when a man dies they always summon the

of slaves and wives. The nephew inherits

One afternoon. Day, then a poor workman, was
drinking bis 'alf a nd ’alf in a London ale house,
when a poor and ragged individual entered, and
addressing himself to those present, said:

ANTIQUITY OF THE GORILLA.
Some part of the country I have exploded
was perhaps known to the great .Carthagipian
navigator, of whom it was related that he
captured three female gorillas, but they were
so ferocious that he was obliged to kill them
and'Piny mentions that the skins were still in
the Temple of Juno when the Romans took
Carthage. However, gorilla remained un
known until UteJj, he has been brought to light
again.
p WARTS.
In these vast jungles I visited more than
thirty tribes. Among them were the dwarfs
from three to four and lrom four to five feet
high These dwarfs always move westward,
towards tli£ head waters of the Nile. When
ever I have questioned the negroes about
where they caiuc from, they have always mov
ed from the east towards tiie west. These
tribes are exceedingly warlike. They are not
very wild.
CANNIBALS.
fatner-in-laws are a great curse to that coun
try, I assure you.
The largest number of wives T have seen, T
think, was three hundred, J inquired of one
of their majesties how many wives he had,
and he said six hundred. The ambition of a
man is to get wives. In some tribes a man
must get a sword first in order to protect bis
wife.
There are few fowls or cats, or any animals
that are domesticated in that country. The
women are not allowed to eat meat. The men
have all the flesh to themselves.
ABOUT DRINKS.
They are very fond of intoxicating drink,
and I used to remonstrate with them in vain.
They have various kinds of drinks of palm
wine, and plantain or honey water, and sugar
cane. But sugar cane drink gives them the
headeaehe. When I used to tell them what
horrid brutes they were, they said, “Look at
the gorilla: he drinks water.”
Amid tile wrecks that mark

I kneel, and wailing o’er my glories gone.
I still each thought of hate, each throb of
wrath,
And whisper. Father. let Thy wi’.l be done !
Pity ini', Father, of the Desolate !
Alas! my burdens are so hard to near ;
Look down in rnerev on my wretched fate,

THE LANGUAGE AND THOUGH iL
Of the language of the country I had great
difficulty to acquire any knowledge. I had to
stay a long time among.one tribe in order to
acquire the language. It was only with great
difficulty I could come to their power of think
ing. The great difficulty was to g*et to the
1 of thinking of these negroes. It is quite j
hcult for us to come'to their standard as j
it is for the negro to come to our level of
thipking.

Booth’s Journal.—Col. Conger, who was in
charge of the party by which Wilkes Booth was
killed, stated in Ids testimony before the Kmuc
Judiciary Committee, last Monday, that accor-
slope of Mount Ida. His surroundings, however,
are the ieyt <-f romantic. The whole mount-
tain, he writes, is covered with jhe dead bodies
of women and children who there sought refuge
from the ravages of civil war, only to perish from
exposure and starvation. He goes onto say that it
would be hard to exaggerate the cruelties of the
Turks. They were guilty of acts which it would
| be an outrage upon decency to mention. As the
doubts and • Great Powers decline to interfere for the protec
tion of the Christian population, they have only
to look forward to a continued, struggle, marked
by the worst atrocities of barbarian warfare.
